GDT - May 30, 2016 - Ugly American Hats vs. Ugly Canadian Hats

[burlingtonbandit]

I think Estrada has overtaken EE as a more desirable deadline acquisition. He's really fun to watch.

[BTS]

He's going to throw the most innings he ever has 2 straight years at age 32. Usually not a recipe for success. He will be valuable trade chip if we fall out of contention. Or he will continue to perform well for us. His contract is very nice value.

 

They won't trade him. I'd be absolutely shocked if he's not in the 2017 rotation, regardless of what happens with the team.

[Jonn]

Team Mexico: Osuna and Estrada carrying the pitching staff. We need to sign more Mexicans.

[fatcowxlive]

What about him? Just because he's good doesn't mean he's my favourite. Some players you just like more than others for whatever reason. Some people even like Goins.

 

It's ok you can say Gruber

Well you gotta get stretched out somewhere

[Governator]

Loup needs a haircut.

I hear Arnold Leon is really good.

[Jonn]

I'd be fine either way. Depends on what you can get for him. A team may over pay.

[CJ-Freeway]

Just got home in time for the 9th

[Jonn]

I hear Arnold Leon is really good.

 

He doesn't count.

[CJ-Freeway]

He gone!!

[gruber92]

It's ok you can say Gruber

 

Are you saying you don't like Goins?

[Boxcar]

Gibby has no clue or feel when a good time is to help build a player's foundation who is struggling, but can be better. Tonight bunting with Goins vs a RHP, even though he was up 2-1 is another example. Reward him for his success tonight by letting him swing away, if he fails, he still had a great night and Pillar is still in scoring position regardless. If he succeeds, then his confidence takes a giant leap forward.

 

He did it the other night with Storen. We were up 8-4 with one runner on and one out in the ninth inning, a perfect spot for Storen, instead he uses Osuna. Storen has been pitching better lately and that situation would have been a perfect opportunity for Storen to close out the game, walk down off the mound and shake the pitcher's hand. If he allowed two batters to reach, then pull him for Osuna.

 

Bunting was a bad idea (as it nearly always is) but not for the dumb reasons you think. Goins is struggling because he sucks at baseball. Letting him swing away is not going to make him stop sucking at baseball.

[fatcowxlive]

DP here please thx I want a quick inning

[Jonn]

Get your lefties loogy

[KingKat]

Aaron Loup got a lot more sun during his DL stint. He used to be so white.

[King]

dang lol

[Candy Maldonado]

loloup

[burlingtonbandit]

surprised Gibby hasn't gotten Osuna throwing yet.

[Jonn]

lol

[vdubmvp]

I can't even explain how annoying I find it when Buck calls it a "brand new ballgame" when we're still leading by two.

[RealAccountant]

Its okay guys they already addressed the bullpen yesterday

[fatcowxlive]

Are you saying you don't like Goins?

 

No I like him, hes not my favourite tho. He's yours I think right?

 

Lol Loup

[CJ-Freeway]

Well, Loup still sucks. Heehee.

[Statman]

Drew Storen coming in?

[Jonn]

Nothing easy. Our bullpen has lead baseball in homeruns allowed.

[Angrioter]

Drew Storen?

[CJ-Freeway]

He's kinda right though, lol.

Where the f*** did i say he would transform into Bryce Harper?

[bronson44]

Loup really needs to stop hitting batters
